Dirk Blanchart - A Happy End Lyrics

It might be right to follow you
It might be wrong, i don't know
But everything is better than
The shadow of an empty house
(the shadows)

Her fingerprints & her photographs
Could kill a man & his horse
The violent streets, i prefer them to
The echoes in the basement of an empty house
(the shadows)

I can't afford to slow down & let this world pass me by
I can't afford to slow down & let this world pass me by
So many people all around me
So many reasons to be happy again

A train arrives across the street
A guy downstairs bangs the drums
But any sound is better than
The silence in the bedroom of an empty house

So let's pretend that this is love
Let's give it all the best that we've got
No memories, no future plans
Just here & now and nothing else

I can't afford to slow down & let this world pass me by
I can't afford to slow down & let this world pass me by
So many people all around me
So many reasons to be happy again
So many people all around me
So many reasons to be happy again

I can't afford to slow down
& keep the world outside my door
So many people around
So many reasons to be
Happy again
